I could be wrong but I don't think any N55 engines are having HPFP issues.

I've got about 25,000 on mine and it still runs like the day I picked it up.

If you're thinking long term get everything you want so you have no regrets. I got a barebones M-Sport and I regret not getting convenience and premium packs, plus Sirius and BMW Apps.

Not so sure about those N55's being out of the woods..Premium Package over rated I got the leather as I always do on a stand alone option in the E46 days don't forget with no premium no moon roof but now it's standard as for the comfort access I'll pass at least with my key in the ignition I know where it is!Oh forgot no lumbar without PP but my back is fine.Glad to hear no probs with the auto.
